Australia is going through a profound and painful process of reconstruction. Do the policies offered by Labor and the Opposition offer much hope for the future? Is there an alternative? In Remaking Australia, Hugh Emy - one of Australia's leading political scientists - argues that the time has come to shift the emphasis away from the free market to the idea of a social market, and to give the state a larger responsibility to steer the development of the market. It is a stronger society, not just a stronger economy that is our goal. Australia needs a different policy mix, including a more emphatic industry policy, if it is to cope with the impact of much fiercer global competition for markets. At the moment, Australia's response to globalisation diverges from that of most leading industrial nations which have opted for some variant of managed capitalism, in which state and market, government and business are treated as partners, not opponents. Remaking Australia is an important book. It offers a clear explanation of the debates about structural reform and Australia's future. It also offers a new vision for Australia's future. Remaking Australia presents a challenge to the Keating government and spells out the issues confronting Australia in terms that are accessible to business and social leaders and general readers as well as to students of Australian business and politics.
